Usability Review Session at MindCamp 2.0 
April 30th, 2006
1. Vista.
- Mostly looking at the file dialogue.
- New features include back button and breadcrumbs.
- Also file attributes and tags.
- Some neat new UI.
- More exposed UI features
- Trying to keep it more consistent and accessible.
2. Can’t talk about this UI because they haven’t launched yet.
3. eBusiness Applications AJAX Components.
- should the following screencasts again cuz I couldn’t get Wifi
- Master Detail or Drill Down Pattern
- Inline Editing Pattern and Real-Time Saving
- Copy and Paste Pattern
- Alexei took a bunch of notes he’ll post later
4. Real Arcade
- design wire frame mockups in blakc and white for layout
- then change design elements, graphic highlights, colors, images ( same layout)
- people read websites in an F pattern
- used tabs because they’re common UI conventions
- had menu design constrains due to business partnerships with advertisers
- target audience is middle aged women
- can’t make UI screen size any smaller
- list menu on right hand size has image buffer to accomodate for internationalization
*AGAIN ROUGH NOTES*
